xperia arc s, 27 Jul 2012I am never gonna buy a sony phone again !! damn it sony u r... moreStop being a drama queen they said they not gona update it to Jelly bean not that they not gona update it. I have an x10 and that went straight from android 1.6 to 2.1 then 2.3.3 they skipped 2.0 2.2 2.3.0 2.3.1 so on and so forth

While i had my x10 they did many updates that were solely to improve performance functionality UI like multi touch, camera features, full HD recording, multi focus, battery life improvements. improvements to social media integration timescape improvements, mediascape improvements

all these updates were done independently from android updates.

I dont see why they need to spend all that time and money going from 4.0 to 4.1 do the small advantages really warrant the time and money

Another thing they never said they not gona update all there phones so think before you speak.

And for those of you who have actually owned a droid you would know that it can be tweaked till your hearts content update or no update or if you know what you doing you can even wait till someone at xda developer releases a jellybean rom and root it.

So stop being cry babies or getting butt hurt and buy it or don't buy it but don't come on here and post stupid comments.

                advice, 27 Jul 2012for me the worse is that the ICS update of my xperia pro is... moreIt would not be much effort for Sony to provide Jelly Bean when they need to fix ICS anyway. This is because there is not a big underlying difference between ICS and Jellybean (contrast to the big difference between Gingerbread and ICS).

No other company would have even provided you ICS also thank Sony that they did! Example LG along with Samsung who only updates their flagship I. E S2 and note no other Samsung phone of 2011 got ICS!

                        You should have done your research before posting this.
                        The info from LG Canada, posted a number of times, is that it was a regional decision based on marketing and that each region makes the decision based on their local marketing needs.This is despite the LG Facebook post stating it would be a global rollout.

                        LG UK has since given September as a timeframe for ICS for the 2x.

                              Now folks this is how a company loses its fanbase . . . to think that sony even had a supporting article that ICS is seemingly alittlebit more unstable than that of their Gingerbread update I think Sony owes it to consumers to bring JB to 2011 line xperias which smoothens the ICS experience . . . You suck Sony ! ! !

ISSUE is updates mania generated by handsets makers to sell handsets AS FUTURE PROOF.. hence overcharge .. and anonymous u can/cannot afford s2 or lower is not the issue .. we hope for LOWER HANDSETS PRICES especially for younger generations ..
